GREVY Is RELUCTANT
To Resign the Glitter ng Bauble of Il
Presidencv.

To Resign the Glitter ng BaubIe of the
Presidency.
PARIS, November 25.-M. Rouvier, on
being shown the text of NJ. Grevy's mes
sage, objected to it as too commendatory
saying that it would cause a storm in the
Chamber.
M. Ribot Oyercame NJ. ROuvier's oh,
lection, but he himself is urging NJ. Greyy
to modify the message.
President Grevy appears TO have greatly
aged with the last few days.
The Republican party desires to hold a
caucus before the Chamber meets, in order
to be sure of unanimous vote and avoid
the chance Of split, which might enable
the Opportunists, led by NJ. Ferry, to
bring in GENERAL Saussier, with the help
of the MOnaTchists.
President Grevy still stubbornily resists
the demands for his resignation. The
press unanimously condemn the pIolonga-
ton of the crisis.
The Pair says that President Grevy will
not resign before he has placed the repub-
lie in a safe position. 1t declares that the
Orleans Princes are very active, and warns
Republicans to reflect on the course they
are taking.
A meeting will be held in the Belleville
quarter tonight to adopt measures, as
the call says, to conform to the situation.

MeCLURE'S PROPHECIES.
What the Next Congress VIII Do-Measures
and Men.

What the Next Congress sWillDo-Msasures
and Men.
PHILADELPHIA, November 25.-Col. A.
X. Mcclure, editor of the Times, telegraphs
from Washington that he is warranted in
making these statements:
First-That the Oak View conference
between the President, Speaker Carlisle
and Congressman Scott was not tariff
conference, but was of general nature,
various questions of public interest having
been considered.
Second-There has never been an at
tempt on the part of the President OF
Speaker Carlisle to settle upon basis for
tariff revision.
Third-Mr. Carlisle will be elected
Speaker. He will not attempt to force any
particular tariff policy upon the party.
Fourth-There will be no attempt to
frame tariff bill or bill reducing inter
nal taxation without the fullest conference
between the Representatives Of all shades
of opinion on the subiect-and any reyis-
ion of the tariff must be upon the basis OF
protection to American labor against for
eign competition.
Fifth-Tsxes will he reduced from sixty
to eighty mill ons of dollars per annum-
the larger amount named being most gen
orally favored.
Sixth-The measures for tariff revision
and reduction of taxation will be so framed
as 10 command the solid Democratic vote,
with some support from Eastern and West
ern Republicans.
Seventh-NO effort will be made to re-
wise the tariff on free trade basis.
E'ghth-The tobacco tax will be re-
pealcd. The whisky tax will not be re-
pealed, although there may be some modi-
ticatiOnS AZ TO whisky used for medicinal,
mechanical and scientific purposes.
Nnth-The Presidents message will
emphatically demand revenue reduction,
and his recommendations will be accepted
by Speaker Carlisle, so that tariff revision
and tax reductions, while not absolutely
assured in the coming Congress, are quite
probable, and upon basis which will not
disturb the industries of the country.

Items of Interest Picked up About the City
and Vicinity.
The Belmont mill, il is said, will return
to the use of coal, which will give some
thing like sixty miners employment.
A. NJ. Hall, a we'll known La Belle en-
ploye, who has been i'll for some time, is
much improved, which his friends will be
glad to hear.
A force Of men are at work repairing
the stone abutments Of the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Railrod bridge across Wheeling
creek in Bridgeport.
The BenwOod mill is still closed down,
the alters refusing to work after night
and being unable to work in the day time
on account Of an insuficiency of natural
gas.
The Laughlin nail works at Martins
Ferry are closed down this week. Several
large shipments of nails have been made,
and work will be resumed on Monday
next.
The squeeZers Of the Standard mill
which were broken something over a
week ago, have not been repaired yet on
account of the failure of the necessary
castings TO arrive. The pieces were ship
ped from Pitisburg last Monday, and are
still on the road somewhere. Otherwise
the mill would have been on full early
in the week.
Negotiations are now pending between
the old nailers and the feeder nailers at the
Laughlin mill in Martins Ferry, for the
formation Of local organization eompris-
ing the entire mailer force Of the mill, both
the oil and the feeder" variety. The
feeder" nsilers positively decline 10 join
the Amalgamation until other mills ar
range for the same thing, and even the
old nailers and members Of the Amalga-
nation can see that it would be suicidal
for the feeder" nailers in the L.aughlin to
do this till Others are ready 10 do the same.
Since no arrangement can he made TO put
all the Aailers in the mill into the ANAL
gamation, IL has been decided by both
sides that local organization must be form
ed TO protect their mutual interests in this
one factory. The old nailers have one
factory, and the feeder" nailers are all
working in another building entirely re-
moved from the old mailer factory. This
state OF affairs it is claimed by the men in
both is taken advantage of by the manage
ment, and the men in both factories forced
70 submit TO obnoxious rules and regula-
tions By the management telling the men
in one factory that the men in the other
submit 10 them and that they must An
organization of both these factories into
one body would make consultations and
< an infArchanOe of sentiment m all suhieefs
possible and can only work TO the interest
Of both. One meeting has already been
held and Others will follow.

ATLANTA'S FIGHT.
How the Battle Rages Between "Wet''
and "Dry."

How the Battle Rages Between "Wet''
and DRY"
ATLANTA, GA, November 25.-The wet
and dry campaign here has assumed a
novel phase. For some time travelling
patent medicine vender, known as ''Yel-
lowstone XIII" has been in the city draw
ing large crowds Of negroes. As the negro
is the balance of power, Yellowstone Kit
was besieged by both parties to drop a
word favorable to their cause.
One prominent Prohibitionist offered
him $1,000 if he would come over to the
dry side. Ex.Governors, Senators, Judges,
ministers, and leading business men crowd
ed around the curly headed quack.
Wednesday night Kit came out for the
wet tiSket and carried the negroes with
him. They took him upon their shoulders
aud carried him around. Yesterday the
city police, who are under Prohibition
management, stopped Kit from his usual
exhibition. This summary proceeding,
coming in the juncture it did, has aroused
the anti-Prohibitionists, who denounce 1t
as an attempt to suppress free speech. Kit
has taken the field, and it looks as if he was
going to be the Moses of the ants.
Last night H. W. Grady and Senator
Colquitt addressed large gathering in
behalf of the Prohibition cause. A feature
OF the demonstration was an immense
torchlight procession numbering fully
8, 900 men and boys. All classes ofpeople,
both white and black, marched side by
side, and crowds of people applsuded
them.
Business is literally suspended, every
body being interested one way or the
other in the cs-npaign, which closes with
the election tomorrow.

HEAVY FORGERIES.
Charles A. KsbIer Driven to Suicide by
Fear of Discovery.


Fear of Discovery.
CINCINNATI, November 25.-A local
paper says that it has deem discovered that
the late Charles Albert Kebler, the attor-
ney who committed suicide on Wednesday,
was driven to the deed by the approaching
revelation of heavy fOrgeries committed by
him in the management of estates and Of
trust funds committed to his care.
An estimate is made that the liabilities
thus incurred amount to about Sl75, 600,
while the property left by Mr.. Kebler will
not exceed 500, 900. The persons most Sc.
riOusly affected are his own family and
friends
The astonishing revelation disclOses the
motive TO be nothing more than to keep up
style of luxurious living beyond his
means. The use Of trust funds having
been begun, the continuance became an
apparent necessity. An instance is given
where $4,000 WAS invested for client
and all the papers relating to il, including
the mortgage, were iOTgerieS.
Friends find the case 40 strange that they
readily agree that some form Of insanity
must have led him into course so far re-
moved from what might have been expect
ed of one with his training and anteee-
dents

Mr.. POwDERLY joins issue with the
GEORGE socialists in series of pubhca-
tions in the organ of the K. Of l.. These
brief extracts viii illustrate his position
81 no longer believe that that the people in
common can till the soil and own it in COM
mon first, because they do not think in
common ; second, because the people are
only people and not angels. In other
words, the people are not good enough yet
to discard the native selfishness which was
horn in them. Each one has
a desire TO own and control a
home Of his own, and my efforts
will be put forth to the end that
each man who wishes TO may own his own
home. Setting aside the fu-
tuIe OF the land, the one idea on which sll
men can unite is that the land should be
kept from sharks, spectators, knayes
and land grabbers-native, natural
zed or alien" And this is precise
IL what the Democratic party under
the lead OF Mr.. CLEVELAND is
striving with might and main to do. In
the short t 40 and half years they have
been in power over 100, 900, 900 acres have
been wrested from these sharks and land
grabberS Of which Mr. POwDERLY speaks,
and but a day or two ago the Attorney
General rendered an opinion on this sub
iect which the General Master Workman
must have read with interest. The Dem
Oera6c party is the only party that can or
will correct the abuses of which Mr.. Pow
Derby so justly complains on behalf OF
the wOrkingnan, and in taking up with
new parties which cannot succeed, the
workingman only works for the defeat of
his own ends and in the interest OF cen
tralizatiOn and corruption.

PTTTsBURG, PA, November 25.-TwC
freight trains on the Wheeling division OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad collided
near Cochran's Mills, fifteen milesirom this
city about 1915 o'clock this morning.
Both trains were almost completely
demolished, and three men killed and
five others injured. One of the killed was
VIM. Prettyman, fireman of Wheeling.
The two Others are still under the debris,
and their names are not known. The in
jured were: Thomas Gates, engineer,

they came together with terrible crash.
Both locomotives were lifted from the rails
and thrown to one side completely wreck

almost to kindling wood, and the debris
piled mp high about the locomotives. The
main track was torn up for q considerable
distance and completely blockaded.
There was not q moments warning and
both crews were caught in the wreck
Three of the trainmen were buried from
sight. They were almost instantly killed.
The others were held prisoners in the con-
fused mass and were extricated with diff
Guilty. Prettyman's body was ta&en tC
Wheeling and the injured were brought tC
this city. IL is claimed by the company
that the accident was caused by the tele
graph operator at Finleyyille
FAILING To DELIVER

men were still under the wreck ut a late
| hour this afternoon. The names of th'
missing men are: Harry Bell, fireman
and John Riorden, a brakeman. VIM

average Of one fatal accident q month on
